Blue Jean Country Queen Song Lyrics And Guitar Chords
Philomena Begley CAPO 3rd fret. Linda Hargrove, arranged for Male voice by R. Gibson.
[C]She’s a [F]Blue [G7]Jean [C]Country Queen
[G7]She recalls when [C]she was weaned
On [F]rock'n'roll and [C]golden soul
And [G7]faded denim jeans
She’s a [F]Blue [G7]Jean [C]Country Queen
[G7]She was there when the [C]grass was green
A [F]rebel without reason
And her [G7]redneck sure did [C]shine
Well, don't you [G7]know she loves her country [C]music
But [A]she can't deny she love the [F]blues
Oh Lord such sweet sweet southern [C]music
When you feel it [G7]touchin' [C]you
[C]She’s a [F]Blue [G7]Jean [C]Country Queen
[G7]She read it in a [C]magazine
And [F]she's tried hard to [C]understand
And [G7]she wonders if it means
That She’s a [F]Blue [G7]Jean [C]Country Queen
[G7]Caught up somewhere [C]in between
The [F]fadin' of a fever
Or the [G7] dawnin' of a [C]dream
{CHORUS}
[C]She’s a [F]Blue [G7]Jean [C]Country Queen
La di da la da de oh, oh, oh
[C]She’s a [F]Blue [G7]Jean [C]Country Queen
La di da la da de oh, oh, oh
[G7]She recalls when [C]she was weaned
On [F]rock'n'roll and [C]golden soul
And [G7]faded denim jeans
She’s a [F]Blue [G7]Jean [C]Country Queen
[G7]She was there when the [C]grass was green
A [F]rebel without reason
And her [G7]redneck sure did [C]shine
Well, don't you [G7]know she loves her country [C]music
But [A]she can't deny she love the [F]blues
Oh Lord such sweet sweet southern [C]music
When you feel it [G7]touchin' [C]you
[C]She’s a [F]Blue [G7]Jean [C]Country Queen
[G7]She read it in a [C]magazine
And [F]she's tried hard to [C]understand
And [G7]she wonders if it means
That She’s a [F]Blue [G7]Jean [C]Country Queen
[G7]Caught up somewhere [C]in between
The [F]fadin' of a fever
Or the [G7] dawnin' of a [C]dream
{CHORUS}
[C]She’s a [F]Blue [G7]Jean [C]Country Queen
La di da la da de oh, oh, oh
[C]She’s a [F]Blue [G7]Jean [C]Country Queen
La di da la da de oh, oh, oh

🎸 2. Strumming Pattern (Country Shuffle)
This is the heart of that Southern country sound. Play it with swing — not straight.
Pattern (per measure):
↓ ↓↑ ↑↓↑
Counting (swing feel):
1 2& 3&4&
Tips:
Beat 1: Play a clear bass note (the root of the chord).
Use muted upstrokes between accents for bounce.
Keep the rhythm lazy and rolling, like old-school country-rock.
For quieter verses, use:
↓ ↓ ↓↑
(strum softly with your fingers)
🎶 3. Fingerpicking Tab (for All Verses)
We’ll use a Travis picking pattern for the verses — thumb alternates the bass while index/middle play melody.
Pattern (per measure):
T – I – T – M
(Thumb = bass, Index = G string, Middle = B string)
